I think he did a very good job, especially since many of the things he did are likely new to him.
What I did notice is that when he did the in-between dance-like moves they looked ludicrous. It points to the sexualization of women's floor routines, with the pretty-pretty, girly girly hand waves, butt shakes, hip shifts, etc. that have little or nothing to do with athleticism take precedence. You don't see the men doing that in their floor routines.
I love watching gymnastics in the winter games, and was a gymnast as a kid (mostly the strength things like parallel bars and rings, not so good at floor), and find the women's floor routines annoying.
If your a true geek parent, your kids need to know about Gary Gnu from "The Great Space Coaster." - "No Gnews Is Good Gnews...Gary Gnu" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAwVIZDAUF0
Either this is just a bad computer joke that I don't think is funny or you're really stretching to somehow relate GNU to this game because the way I see it, A) this game has nothing to do with computers and B) a "gnu" is the animal on the front of the box.

pretty sure that was the whole point of this male entering a female competition.
What parent wouldn't be proud if their child grew up to be an unwashed, barefoot, socialist that goes around the world ranting how money is bad.
